Employers frequently offer long-term disability insurance to employees as a benefit. Long-term disability plans and insurance can be offered simply as one more benefit, or can be written into an employee's employment contract.
Long-term disability plans generally provide partial salary replacement to eligible employees who are unable to work due to a disability for more than 90 consecutive days. When employers and insurers fail to provide long-term disability payments and benefits to disabled employees, often the employees can take their case to an experienced long-term disability attorney and use the court system to enforce their rights and gain the benefits they deserve and are owed.

Often, when employees file for long-term disability benefits through their workplace insurance, they are told that they are not disabled because there is a randomly selected job they can still perform.
Long term disability benefits attorneys interpret laws and insurance policies, examine medical records and interview witnesses, including co-workers, friends and family to 1) prove that you are disabled and 2) prove that your rights have been violated, building a strong case for you to be awarded the benefits that you deserve.
